Woman's Sphere

"The true place of a cultivated woman is at the head of an enlightened home, dispensing its courtesies and charities, performing its daily labors and its higher duties, training up her children from the earliest dawn of life, and doing the last offices of kindness and devotion to the sick and the dying. Women peculiarly endowed, may find their happiness in other spheres. The future wife and mother may find healthful and useful occupation for a time as a teacher. But as a general thing, it is only in the diversified experience of a Christian home, that a cultivated woman can find exercise for all her faculties and all her affections. Any remedy for the wrongs of woman which does not look to this as the main thing, must fall short of its proper end."
